far he knows there are not more than twelve
bucks with Colorow.
Il know Coorow,n said he, land know his
followers. Colorow never did anyone injury in
this State except in the way Of petty thieving.
This trouble grows out of an attempt to arrest
two Indians for horse-sJealing, a proceeding to
which the old chief very naturally objects"

United States government" was asked
He did, in my presence, and 1t was signed oy

What were the circumstances OF the removal
of the Indians?"
"The commission, of which I was one was
composed of Messrs. Manypenny, of Ohio; Pur-
sell, of Iowa, and Bowen, of Kentucky. had
the duty of removing the Uncom paheres. which
was done. The southern Utes were also re-
moved, but the White-river Utes were never
forced into the Uintah agency, and just here has
been the trouble"
How many Indians are there in the Ute
